In the NEON data products framework, the raw data collected in the field, for example, the dry weights of lier funconal groups from a single collecon event are considered the lowest level (Level 0). Raw data that have been quality checked via the steps detailed herein, as well as simple metrics that emerge from the raw data are considered Level 1 data products. The text herein provides a discussion of measurement theory and implementaon, data product prove- nance, quality assurance and control methods used, and approximaons and/or assumpons made dur- ing L1 data creaon. 1.2 Scope This document describes the steps needed to generate the L1 data product ‘Herbaceous clip harvest’ - the dry weight of annual producon of herbaceous plants clipped from randomly placed clip cells in ter- restrial plots - and associated metadata from input data. This document also provides details relevant to the publicaon of the data products via the NEON data portal, with addional detail available in the file, NEON Data Publicaon Workbook for TOS Herbaceous Biomass: QA/QC of Raw Field and Lab Data (DP1.10023.001) (AD[05]), provided in the download package for this data product. This document describes the process for ingesng and performing automated quality assurance and con- trol procedures on the data collected in the field pertaining to TOS Protocol and Procedure: Measure- ment of Herbaceous Biomass (AD[07]). The raw data that are processed in this document are detailed in the file, NEON Raw Data Ingest Workbook for TOS Herbaceous Biomass (DP0.10023.001) (AD[04]), pro- vided in the download package for this data product. Please note that raw data products (denoted by ‘DP0’) may not always have the same numbers (e.g., ‘10033’) as the corresponding L1 data product.

All masses reported following processing are reported at the spaal reso- luon of one clip strip and the temporal resoluon of a single collecon event (Figure 1). Mass data for each collecon event are reported to an accuracy of 0.01 grams. Masses < 0.01g are also reported and indicate presence of an idenfiable sample present at masses below accuracy of the scales used to weigh samples. For a minimum of one bout per growing season, the aboveground dry mass producon associated with key herbaceous funconal groups will be provided. These funconal groups are defined as: • Bryophytes for which annual producon is discernable • C3 cool-season graminoids • C4 warm-season graminoids • Nitrogen-fixing forbs and woody species at decimeter height < 1 cm • Non-leguminous forbs • Woody-stemmed shrubs with diameter at decimeter height < 1 cm All data products include spaal and temporal sampling details, as well as required metadata. For addi- onal informaon on the sampling design and the associated protocol, see TOS Science Design for Plant Biomass, Producvity, and Leaf Area Index (AD[06]), and the TOS Field and Lab Protocol for Herbaceous Plant Biomass (AD[07]). Following data collecon in the field and the lab, several standard QA/QC proce- dures are implemented, as described in Secon 5 of this document, in order to produce quality-checked Level 1 herbaceous clip harvest data products. Herbaceous clip harvest data may be used to esmate annual Aboveground Net Primary Producvity (ANPP) and aboveground biomass at plot, site, and connental scales. They also provide essenal data for understanding vegetave carbon fluxes over me. 3.1 Spaal Sampling Design The Herbaceous Clip Harvest sampling is implemented in Tower plots at all terrestrial NEON sites and in Distributed plots at terrestrial NEON sites with non-forest, herbaceous dominated, Naonal Land Cover Database (NLCD) Classificaon. Sampling occurs at a subset of Tower plots at some sites and at all Tower plots at others, and in a maximum of twenty randomly selected Distributed plots, with ≥ 50% herba- ceous plant cover, per site. In Distributed plots, the maximum potenal sampling effort (n=20 plots) corresponds to sampling

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Waterloo's Institutional Repository This Peregrina's Autoethnographic Account of Walking the Camino Via de la Plata: A Feminist Spiritual Inquiry into Human Transformation by Kimberly Lyons A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Recreation and Leisure Studies Waterloo, Ontario, Canada 2013 © Kimberly Lyons 2013 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This is an autoethnographic account of my 1000km journey across The Camino Via de la Plata, framed within transpersonal theory. From my personal account of a peak experience on The Way, this spiritual inquiry attempts to connect myself and the reader to insights into transformation and living through embodied writing while contributing to the exploration of personal flourishing and growth in leisure studies. This process involved moving into and through Romanyshyn’s (2007) six orphic moments found in re-search processes with soul in mind. I then unfold my journey along the Camino and deepen this inquiry by engaging literature that help to explore spiritual aspects of my journey on the Camino. Leisure inquiry frames this transpersonal peak experience in a number of ways: it is an act of empowerment (Arai, 1997), focal practice (Arai & Pedlar, 2000), resistance (Shaw, 2001, 2007), and an experience of liminality (Cody, 2012) with transformation occurring at the flux of it all.

  • Excess Deaths in Spain During the First Year of the COVID–19 Pandemic Outbreak from Age/Sex–Adjusted Death Rates

The copyright holder for this preprint (which was not certified by peer review) is the author/funder, who has granted medRxiv a license to display the preprint in perpetuity. It is made available under a CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 International license . preprint: not peer-reviewed Excess deaths in Spain during the first year of the COVID{19 pandemic outbreak from age/sex{adjusted death rates Jos´eMar´ıaMart´ın-Olalla∗ Universidad de Sevilla. Facultad de F´ısica. Departamento de F´ısicade la Materia Condensada. ES41012 Sevilla. Spain (Dated: 20210725.2046+0200) Background: The COVID{19 has been related to anomalously large excess deaths worldwide. The assessment of excess deaths is a key magnitude to quantify the overall impact of a pandemic. It requires a comprehensive statistical treatment of mortality which includes age and sex disaggregation. Methods: Weekly deaths data in Spain since the year 2000 disaggregated by sex and five{year age group, and Spanish population since the year 2000 have been used to compute the 52{week (364{day) age/sex{specific mortality rates and age/sex{adjusted mortality rates. Generalized linear Poisson regressions have been used to compute the contrafactual expected rates after one year of the pandemic onset and, from that, to compute excess rates. Results: For the past continued 13 years the year to year age/sex{adjusted death rates had not been the rate observed on February 28th, 2021. The excess death rate was estimated as 1:864 × 10−3 (95 % confidence interval, 1:846 × 10−3 to 1:881 × 10−3; P −score = 21:2 % and z−score = 11:9) with an unbiased standard deviation of the residuals equal to 156 × 10−6.
